January Dental Marketing Ideas That Won’t Put You to Sleep
Ah, January—the month of resolutions, empty wallets, and sugar-hangover regret from the holidays. It’s the perfect time to tap into those New Year, New Smile vibes. But how do you get your patients excited about dentistry when everyone’s still recovering from holiday spending? Easy: with some killer marketing strategies that’ll have your practice cashing in like a boss.
From single-location mavericks to group practice dynasties, here are the best ways to kick off the year with a bang, complete with ideas for patient membership plans, BoomCloud™ wizardry, and unique revenue-generating tactics that’ll make January your new favorite month.
Revenue Strategies for Single-Location Practices
Alright, solo dental heroes, let’s talk about how to make January a revenue goldmine.
1. Launch or Promote a Patient Membership Plan
Remember, nobody wants to deal with insurance drama. People have enough stress starting the year. This is where a patient membership plan becomes your ultimate weapon.
Imagine offering a $45/month membership plan that includes two cleanings a year, routine exams, and discounts on other treatments. Sound familiar? Because it should—that’s exactly what one smart practice did, signing up over 1,400 members. Do the math:
- 1,400 members x $45/month = $63,000 per month in predictable income.
- That’s $756,000 a year. And that’s before you’ve even picked up a dental mirror.
How to Get People to Sign Up in January
- Leverage New Year Resolutions: “Start the year with a healthier, brighter smile—sign up for our Smile Care Membership today!”
- Special New Year Promo: Offer a discount for the first month if they sign up in January. You’ll get them in the door, and once they experience your VIP treatment, they’ll never leave.
Practice Benefits
- Predictable Cash Flow: Say goodbye to seasonal income fluctuations.
- Reduced Admin Work: No more insurance headaches. BoomCloud™ handles all the billing and renewals, making your life so much easier.
- Higher Treatment Acceptance: Patients with membership plans feel like they’re getting a deal, so they say “yes” to more treatments.
Patient Benefits
- Cost Savings: For patients, paying $45 a month beats a massive out-of-pocket expense for a single dental emergency.
- No Insurance Drama: Simplicity at its finest. Patients love clear, upfront pricing.
- Preventive Care Access: A membership plan encourages them to take care of their teeth before things get expensive.

Revenue Strategies for Multi-Location Practices
For those of you managing a mini empire of dental offices, you need strategies that scale. Good news: Membership plans work even better when you have multiple locations.
How to Scale a Membership Plan Across Multiple Locations
- Standardize Your Offering: Create a core membership plan that works for all your locations. You can customize it slightly for different demographics, but keep the main benefits consistent.
- Centralize Management with BoomCloud™: Use BoomCloud™ to manage everything in one place. Track member growth, automate renewals, and send out marketing campaigns tailored to each location.
- Promote Across the Board: Launch a coordinated marketing push in January. Use email, social media, and even in-office flyers to get the word out.
Case Study: Dr. Dental Empire
One group practice did just that, rolling out a membership plan that signed up 2,000 members across five locations. At $45/month, that’s a cool $90,000 per month. Hello, consistent revenue stream.
Unique January Strategies to Drive Revenue
January isn’t just about membership plans. It’s prime time to get creative and tap into those fresh-start vibes. Here are some ideas to get your dental marketing poppin’.
1. New Year, New Smile Promotions
- Whitening Specials: Everyone wants a brighter smile for the new year. Offer a “New Year Whitening Package” with a limited-time discount.
- Free Cosmetic Consultations: January is perfect for people to think about veneers, Invisalign, or Botox™ (yep, we’ll get to that).
2. Health and Wellness Partnerships
Team up with local gyms or yoga studios to promote each other. “Join [Local Gym] and get a free dental exam at [Your Practice]!” or “Get 10% off your membership plan when you show your [Local Gym] membership card.”
3. Invisalign January Jumpstart
Promote Invisalign as a way to boost confidence in the new year. Throw in free whitening or a discount for patients who start treatment in January.

BONUS: Launch a Botox™ Membership Plan
Want to level up your offerings and revenue? Consider a Botox™ Membership Plan. At $99/month, patients get quarterly Botox™ touch-ups, ensuring they come back regularly and keeping your schedule packed.
Why It Works
- Predictable Revenue: Like dental memberships, a Botox™ plan provides steady income.
- Patient Loyalty: People who get Botox™ don’t want to risk going anywhere else. You’ll be their go-to for all things facial aesthetics.
Example Plan:
- $99/month includes Botox™ touch-ups every three months, plus discounts on other cosmetic services.
- 350 members x $99/month = $34,650 in MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) and $415,800 in ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue).
Not too shabby, right?
